Jacksonville Jaguars (10th pick)

The lack of a second-round pick might prove costly if the Jags truly were interested in adding hometown hero Tim Tebow to the roster, as 1.10 is too early and 3.10 is likely too late. That early pick is ticketed for a pass rusher to complement Aaron Kampman, as Jacksonville is cutting bait on the Quentin Groves/Derrick Harvey experiment. Mike Sims-Walker could use some help in the passing game, and the secondary requires attention as well. Finally, the Jaguars built a solid offensive line by consistently spending an early pick each year on the position; this year, it might be a later pick but it’s still an area worth addressing.

Tennessee Titans (18th pick)

The offense revolves around Chris Johnson and has plenty of young talent, so expect Tennessee’s early picks to focus on the defensive side of the ball. A pass rusher is a necessity, and for those times when the Titans don’t get to the opposing passer the defensive backfield could stand some upgrades as well. With Keith Bulluck a free agent, the Titans will at minimum look to get younger at linebacker. Later on, Tennessee might add depth along the offensive line and a pass-catcher to complement last year’s first-rounder, Kenny Britt.

Houston Texans (20th pick)

Eight picks: 1.20; 2.19; 3.17; 4.20; 5.19; 6.18, 6.28 (f/SD); 7.20

You can almost bank on the Texans using their first three picks on a between-the-tackles running back, a cornerback to replace the departed Dunta Robinson, and a free safety to complement Bernard Pollard; only the order remains to be determined. Houston hasn’t had much success throwing early picks at the interior of their defensive line; maybe using a later selection will provide different results.

Indianapolis Colts (31st pick)

The defending AFC champs have no glaring holes, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t use an upgrade or two. Offensive line seems to be the position getting the most offseason attention, and Indy appears to be looking at getting bigger up front. The Colts could also use some depth along their defensive line, and they’re always on the lookout for linebackers who fit their Cover 2 scheme; sometimes that means converting a safety, like they did with Cato June. Finally, with Jim Sorgi gone and Curtis Painter clearly not a viable alternative, Indy is in the market for a qualified clipboard holder to back up Peyton Manning.
